Poll: Can changing the way we shop actually make a difference? 💸💸💸

Shopping has become such a big part of our everyday lives, and the choices we make can influence more than we realise.

If you’d like to make those dollars work harder for our local communities, consider choosing small. Households spend more than $110 billion with big businesses each year. Shifting a portion of that toward small, local retailers can make a huge difference for the wider small-business economy.

Stories of recovery from compulsive exercise
I wasn’t an overweight child, but from as young as 5 years I can recall comparing myself unfavourably with two painfully thin twins in my dance class and thinking that was what I was supposed to look like.

I’m not sure how I got the idea that I should be very thin. My mum was often on a diet and always wanted to be thinner, so maybe that shaped my thinking that thin was good. I remember at high school being mortified that every year I put on more weight.

Hey neighbours,

What if your bedroom is secretly the reason you’re not sleeping well?
Not the stress. Not the coffee. Not even the late-night scrolling — it could be your space itself.

The good news? Turning your room into a cosy sleep sanctuary is easier than you think.

A few simple tweaks can make a massive difference:
1. Calm, soothing colours
2. Clutter-free corners
3. Comfy, quality bedding
4. Smart storage + multifunctional furniture
5. Eco-friendly materials for a fresher feel
6. A touch of tech (only the helpful kind!)

If you’d love a clearer mind and deeper sleep, neighbours, you’ll enjoy this quick read packed with easy ideas:

Sleep well, neighbours — you deserve it.

Brown paper bags

Is it just me, or are the brown paper bags in the supermarket getting thinner? I bought 6 mandarins, folded the top over and the bad split. It took me two bags, and the lady at the checkout took them out of the 2nd bag to weigh them, so that i was not over charged.👍
I also had a leak in a tray-packed chicken, which dripped onto a bag and guess what happened.
I know for a fact we throw out more produce than we used to, through not being able to see inside the bags, let alone these silly incidents.

I am not complaining, just pointing things out.

Tony and June feel like the luckiest people living in a Ryman village.

The couple have lived in their large, sunny serviced apartment for four years now and still can’t quite believe what a good score it was.

“It was the best thing we’ve done,” says June. “It’s north facing, so it gets lots of light, and it’s a good size, so I’ve got room for my card-making supplies.”
